How to use Bluetooth® SMART to turn a smartphone into your device’s new control panel Features AIR module (A2541) -- with Emmoco software Bluetooth SIG Member [email protected] 800-411-6596 +44-2392-232392 Bluetooth 101 Bluetooth SIG Member • Bluetooth is “a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks with high levels of security” • Bluetooth is managed / created by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) (www.bluetooth.com) which is a global trade association with over 19,000 member companies • In 2010: Bluetooth SIG announced, Bluetooth Core Specification v4.0 with low energy technology What is BLE? Bluetooth SIG Member • Bluetooth low energy technology is an evolution in technology that enables new applications in wireless devices that are able to last months or even years off a small, button-cell battery • This does not replace existing Bluetooth -- it adds to it. (So headphones and speakers remain Bluetooth.) • BLE lets you connect your low-power device to smartphone or tablet creating an excellent user interface Why use BLE? Bluetooth SIG Member • Ultra-low peak, average and idle mode power consumption • Ability to run for years on standard, coin-cell batteries • Low cost • Multi-vendor interoperability • Enhanced range About Bluetooth® SMART Bluetooth SIG Member • Bluetooth SMART devices connect to Bluetooth SMART-ready smartphones using Bluetooth low-energy technology – denoted as Bluetooth 4.0 on smartphones • Bluetooth SMART ready smartphones & tablets include: – iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch with iOS v5 and above – Android v4.3 devices with Bluetooth 4.0 hardware What can a Bluetooth connection do for you? • When within range, use a smartphone or tablet to see inside your device/equipment: - monitor & collect performance data - adjust settings - do preventive maintenance - troubleshoot - upload software updates - and more …all touch-free & without opening a cabinet! • No limits on what data can be displayed (smartphone/tablet vs. LCD panel) • Secure: Only those with your “app” (eg: field technicians) have access • Many competitive advantages & possibilities Bluetooth SIG Member Bluetooth SIG Member How do you leverage Bluetooth SMART without building your own radio & months of programming?
